Pregnant after 3 miscarriages

Hi everyone,
I am currently pregnant for the 4th time - no living children.
MMC March 2022 at 8 weeks
MMC October 2022 at 10 weeks
MC April 2023 at 6 weeks
We were so shocked to get pregnant so soon again, it has usually taken us a few months.
For this pregnancy, I am on 20mg Prednisolone, Innohep injection, 150mg Asprin, 5mg Folic acid, 1000iu Vit D and 400mg Progesterone pessarie.
Although I am only 4+3 today, which I know is super early, I would usually have sore boobs by now.
Just wondering if anyone knows does being on the steroids interfere with pregnancy symptoms? I have read how they can be prescribed for morning sickness.
As you can imagine, I am so so nervous, over thinking everything.
Did another test yesterday and today and there is a dark line, going to have to stop myself from testing now going forward or I will become obsessive.
Also, anyone with success stories after losses, I would love to hear them.

Hi OP

I sadly had three miscarriages in a row, had all the tests done and doctors couldn’t find any reason as to why it kept happening, both husband and I were in good health so just told us to keep on trying.
When I got pregnant the fourth time, I was on daily progesterone suppositories until 12 weeks, don’t know if that’s what made the difference, but I now have two beautiful daughters (also had progesterone for my fifth pregnancy)
There is definitely hope and the doctor always reassured us that the chances of having a successful pregnancy, despite the many miscarriages, we’re still really good.
Wishing you so much luck with this pregnancy 💐

@Cati482 After so many loses, it can be very hard to remain hopeful, however there isn't much else we can do.
I am so happy to hear you had a positive outcome :)
Thank you for your well wishes.

I wish you well in your pregnancy. I have experienced 3 miscarriages too the most recent one being in April this year like you.
Our consultant at recurrent miscarriage clinic has agreed to give me progesterone pessaries from a positive pregnancy test rather than waiting for the 1st scan as I’m struggling to make it that far. I feel this will help us as I’ve experienced bleeding every time.
Hope that helps and don’t be afraid to ask for support from the medical professionals xx
